Course Description
Designed for students to learn and/or review advanced math skills in preparation for passing of the GED exam.
Course Content
1. Washington State Adult Learning Standards – ABE/GED
To use math to problem solve
a. Understand, interpret, and work with pictures, numbers, and symbolic information.
b. Apply knowledge of mathematical concepts and procedures to figure out how to answer a question, solve a problem, make a prediction, or carry out a task that as a mathematical dimension.
c. Define and select data to be used in solving the problem.
d. Determine the degree of precision required by the situation.
e. Solve problems using appropriate quantitative procedures and verify that the results are reasonable.
f. Communicate results using a variety of mathematical representations, including graphs, charts, tables, and algebraic models.
2. Goal Setting
Student Outcomes
1. Mathematics
M5.1 Read, write, and interpret a wide variety of mathematical information such as
Numbers and number sense: money/expenses/prices, percentages, decimals and fractions.
Patterns/Functions/Relationships: patterns and formulas (such as a=pr2).
Space/Shape/Measurement: units of measurement including fractional units, geometrical shapes including shapes containing a combination of common shapes, and concept of volume.
Data/Statistics: ways to interpret, represent and draw implications from data (graphs, tables, and simple forms of statistical analysis).
M5.2 Recall and use multi-step mathematical procedures (such as keeping accounts) that involve whole numbers as well as fractions, decimals, and/or percents, and measure volume using tools with different calibrations.
M5.3 Evaluate the degree of precision needed for the solution.
M5.4 Define, select, organize, and integrate mathematical information of different types in carrying out procedures, describing patterns, and/or measuring with appropriate tools to solve the problem and to verify that the solution is reasonable.
M5.5 Create appropriate visual or graphic representations such as charts, tables, graphs, etc. and clearly communicate the solution process and results orally or in writing to a variety of audiences.
2. Goal Setting
G5.1 Monitor progress on educational goals as they relate to their roles as students, workers, citizens, and family members.
